    Hi,
    We want to monitor our web server, How it is performing. An article at MSDN
    suggest the following counters to monitor but I think there must be some
    other counters as well e.g. Request execution Time etc. If any one have any
    idea about any other counter which should be monitored then kindly suggest.
    Need your suggestion gurus.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Faraz
          Object or counter
         Ideal value

          Memory or pages per second
         Zero to 20 (indicates trouble if over 80)

          Memory or available bytes
         At least 4 megabytes (MB)

          Memory or committed bytes
         Not more than 75 percent of physical memory size

          Memory or pool nongpaged bytes
         Steady (a slow rise may indicate a memory leak)

          Processor or percent of processor time
         Less than 75 percent

          Processor or system processor queue length
         Less than 2

          Disk (logical or physical) or percent disk time
         As low as possible

          Disk (logical or physical) or queue length
         Less than 2

          Disk (logical or physical) or average disk bytes per transfer
         As high as possible

          IIS global or cache hits percent
         As high as possible

          Web service or bytes total per second
         As high as possible

          ASP or request wait time
         As low as possible

          ASP or requests queued
         Zero

          ASP or transactions per second
